'Vegetative' Patient Communicates!

Here's a story out of Scotland that is quite remarkable:

Although the results were recorded in 1 patient out of 23, the implications of such a discovery are immense. Can you just imagine being trapped in your own mind, being able to hear doctors and family around you talking about how 'you are not there' and aren't 'alive' anymore? Can you imagine the agony?

PS: The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, a legit medical journal.

Rutgers Student falls in Afghanistan

Lance Cpl. Jeremy Kane, a Marine reservist from Cherry Hill, NJ, and student at Rutgers-Camden fell in combat last Saturday, January 23.

You can read more about this fallen American hero here.

We must always remember that we are at war right now and that we have thousands of men and women fighting all over the world to ensure that we remain free. Freedom is not cheap. We may sit here in this country and debate about this and that, but we are only able to because of what men and women like Jeremy Kane have sacrificed for us.

Please keep the family of Jeremy in your prayers and thoughts while they go through this horrible ordeal.

RIP Jeremy.
